Animal Art at VCA SFVS

Those of you who have been to our hospital recently have likely noticed the amazing animal art in our lobby. The artist is Joyce Johnson, and you can read a little more about her below. (Yesterday, we featured her kitty Eby in our Patient Stories series.)

Many thanks to Joyce for sharing her artwork with us and our clients!

Joyce writes:

I love painting. After working at Levi Strauss and Co. for 25 years creating and designing the men’s Dockers brand, I now finally have time to pursue a long lost passion, oil painting. I began painting as a teenager, idolizing my father’s paintings/drawings, as he was an amazing talent. On and off throughout the years I continued painting but never had enough time to be completely devoted to it. Now I find myself completely immersed in the joy of capturing the essence of not only my pets, but also the faces of many adorable breeds. To me it’s not only a challenge, but a labor of love. I consider myself to be a very fortunate person, to be able to do what I love daily.

I’ve been commissioned to paint many clients’ loved little furry babies. Along with other oil ventures, I continue to love painting the pets that love us unconditionally. I hope the display at VCA San Francisco Veterinary Specialists brings joy and smiles to those who share in viewing it.

I have a suggestion for an upcoming post, pls. SFVS has such interesting people working there, so how about asking your very own Naomi Mansfield to blog about her recent three month trip to South Africa to study penguins?
